Hi everyone, welcome to my blog :)

I've loved writing creatively for as long as I can remember, and for me, poetry is the ideal form. In my third year of studying English, Journalism and Creative Writing at the University of Strathclyde, I finally decided to set up this wee blog to showcase some of my work.

You'll see that my earlier posts are abstract/free verse poems. My writing style has evolved somewhat and I now write mainly in a broad Scots style, (which is just the most fun way to write anything - give it a go and you'll see what I mean).

My work pays homage to the great Ayrshire poet, Robert Burns, who, in addition to being a remarkably gifted writer, stood for values of decency, equality and fairness among his fellow men (see 'A Man's A Man For A' That').

I'm immensely proud to also hail from Ayrshire, and I'll do my best to make you laugh and/or cry (hopefully in a good way) with my own Scots writing.

I hope you enjoy, and feel free to comment and get in touch with me via email or Twitter:
